Electronic balance

Abstract

An electronic balance includes a measuring cell for electromagnetic load compensation. The measuring cell and a load receiving member of the balance are arranged in an inner housing which is closed to all sides with the exception of an opening for a receiving cone of the load receiving member. The inner housing is mounted in the balance housing so as to be spaced apart from the walls, the base and the cover of the balance housing. A circumferentially extending partition wall is tightly sealingly attached to the bottom and the cover of the balance housing. The partition wall is mounted between the inner housing and the walls of the balance housing.

I claim: 
     
       1. In an electronic balance including a balance housing having walls, a base and a cover, a measuring cell for electromagnetic load compensation placed in the balance housing, and electronic analyzing and indicating means including electric circuits, partition means for separating the measuring cell from the circuits of the electronic analyzing and indicating means, the balance further including a load receiving member with a receiving cone for a weighing dish, the receiving cone extending through an opening in the balance housing, and control elements for operating the balance, wherein the improvement comprises that the partition means comprises an inner housing, the measuring cell for electromagnetic load compensation and the load receiving means being arranged in the inner housing, the inner housing being closed to all sides and having an opening for the receiving cone, the inner housing being placed in the balance housing so as to be spaced on all sides from the walls, the base and the cover of the balance housing, and a circumferentially extending partition wall tightly sealingly attached to the bottom and the cover of the balance housing, the partition wall being mounted between the inner housing and the walls of the balance housing. 
     
     
       2. The electronic balance according to claim 1, comprising at least one leg for supporting the measuring cell at a distance from the bottom of the balance housing. 
     
     
       3. The electronic balance according to claim 2, wherein the at least one leg is of a thermally poorly conductive material. 
     
     
       4. The electronic balance according to claim 1, wherein the control elements and the electronic analyzing means are arranged outside of the balance housing. 
     
     
       5. The electronic balance according to claim 1, wherein the inner housing surrounding the measuring cell is an element which supports the mechanical components of the balance.
